    Hello These are SO4 For the problem of adding wood blocks in the middle of keel to increase the strength，I think there are several points for reference 1：According to the data I found, there is no filler between ribs and keels, so I can't change the structure 2：As a kit that needs to adapt to different production levels, I am most worried about this continuous fit structure, because it will generate accumulated errors, Some of the friends who are making models are making wooden sailboats for the first time, add chocks at the floor timber This is very interesting，I think maybe I can try this construction method。It's a whole new experience Tom

    I quite agree with you,It is a pity to distort the personality of a ship just to satisfy customers. We always think that it is necessary to respect the original work, and try not to change the structure expressed in the original plans when we have to So we give two solutions, This is not contradictory to what you insist on At the same time, I would like to thank you for your advice, which makes me more confident in making models that are faithful to the original, Not to simplify the model and structure for the sake of cost Tom This is another alternative

    Hello The main structure of Le coureur is French, and the UK did not change the structure of Le coureur at that time, This can be seen from the original Plans, so we provide 2 options, you can choose to install according to your own understanding. For the arm of Le Requn, we also provide two options, Friends who meet different needs. Some friends like to make models in strict accordance with plans, while others like richer details and more beautiful patterns,We just offer more options Tom

    Some friends are asking about the difference between Le coureur and HMS alert Le Coureur and HMS Alert there are big differences This is due to the different design purposes of the designers at the beginning 1 Structurall：,Le coureur is French,HMS alert is English 2 In terms of difficulty：The serrated ribs of Le coureur are a challenge, so we designed a special shipway to ensure the accuracy of fabrication，Of course, this is the original intention of our design to embody his structure 3 In terms of overall effect：Le coureur has three masts, so his sails are very beautiful，This is also the premise for us to insist on making masts and sails 4 From the perspective of product materials：We used brass to make metal accessories such as cannon, anchor, etc., lead leather to make waterproof partition of powder cabin, leather to make waterproof wrapping material of rudder, and boxwood to make wood carving，The flag was made by gilding process, and the boiler made of clay was used So le coureur and HMS alert is a totally different experience

    I think I can start the plan after I get the authorization from Ancre, and will not wait for a long time. I can make a section model of the middle part. Or I can make a section model of the tail

    Yes, this is boxwood. After CNC processing, the material is very delicate. At present, only boxwood and pear wood are most suitable for CNC processing

    I'll make fly later, I have tested several kinds of wood before. I can use boxwood or pear wood
